Safe, but everything is a drive away
An overall score of 9.6 does not come from one strong pillar but from the absence of a weak one. In Kootwijkerbroek the lowest of the five is a 6.0, and that is amenities. The restaurant is five kilometres away and the station just over six, but those weigh lightly; the supermarket and the GP, together good for more than forty per cent of that pillar, are within a kilometre.
The social assistance rate here is zero. For a neighbourhood of this size that is rare, and it says more about who lives here than the property value does, which comes out just above the national middle. Offences stay low across the board too: violence runs at a fraction of the national middle and property offences at a bit over half of it. What you give up here is rail access — for the rest, little needs giving up.

Frequently asked questions
Is Kootwijkerbroek a safe neighbourhood?

How much crime is there in Kootwijkerbroek?
In Kootwijkerbroek the police recorded 22 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (13 per 1,000) is not simply that count divided by the number of residents: we count residents plus workplaces, so a shopping street or station is not unfairly penalised, and for small counts we pull the figure towards the national average — otherwise a single incident would make a small neighbourhood look unsafe.
How is the grade for Kootwijkerbroek calculated?
Kootwijkerbroek scores 9.6 as its total score. That grade is a national position: we weigh five equally heavy scores — safety, amenities, wealth & income, quiet & nature and families — and see where Kootwijkerbroek lands among every neighbourhood in the Netherlands. So it is not the mean of the five grades, but a place in the queue. All from open data published by CBS and the police.
